The claim in some press and media outlets that "Turkish-Greek armies will conduct joint patrols" is not true.
During meetings between Greece's Minister of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy, Christos Stylianides, and Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, as well as delegation meetings, views on enhancing cooperation were discussed.
Ways of cooperation between the two countries to jointly combat irregular migration and migrant smuggling were discussed.
In addition, the issue of strengthening cooperation and communication between the Turkish and Greek Coast Guard authorities was discussed.
The talks did not lead to a decision that Türkiye and Greece would conduct joint patrols in the Aegean Sea and the Maritsa River.
Unfounded reports should not be given credit.
